My brother deals with CHF duebto his polycystic kidneys. He's finally on dialysis, but it might be too little too late. He was at less than 15% kidney function for several years, but Kaiser required 10% before giving dialysis. He went into some kind of crisis that landed him in the hospital confused and in a tremendous amount of pain. They gave him too much narcotic pain killer crap and ODed him. Had to give him Narcan. That was about a month ago. He's been on dialysis since.

He has lost over 30 pounds from water that has been removed from his system. He's under 300 pounds for the first time in over 10 years.
